ORB #1 is a digital moiré animation created in 2022, part of a series of animated optical patterns using geometric shapes and motifs referencing a visual language from the 60s & 70s. The piece is informed by the usage of geometry in optical and kinetic art, such as in the work of Victor Vasarely and Jesús Rafael Soto. ORB #1 is also partly inspired by book covers from the collection "ailleurs et demain" (elsewhere and tomorrow) published by Gerard Klein and Robert Laffont in France in 1969, focusing on contemporary sci-fi novels.
